FYI most of my posts are motivational not a negative perception! I say this because so many go “awwww I think you’re perfect” or something similar. I’m an uplifting person not a negative Nancy. Sure I have all the same struggles that other women like me have, and beauty does NOT relieve that dysphoria, but I’m not a complainer ⁣

Obsessed with everything from @victoriasport I definitely wasn’t feeling it this morning before my workout, so I forced myself out of bed, blasted some music, took down my pre-workout (@finaflex Stimul8) and threw on my new VS sports bra! ✔️ Nothing like throwing on some new #workoutclothes for extra #motivation #motivatedaf #motivationmonday #strongoverskinny #bikiniprep #diet #training #diet #fitfam #fitlife #fitlifestyle #workingonthatbikinibody #progress #iifym #macros #progressnotperfection #workinprogress #bodybuildingcom #fitstagram #upperbodyday #hiit #projectbikini #fitspo #sweat #workout #fit #fittips #victoriasecret #victoriassecret #futurebikinicompetitor #workoutclothes #workoutgear #fitfashion #vs #vssport #vssportsbra

Feeling SOOO much better this morning then yesterday (bloat is gone!) Bought these new #bikini bottoms from @victoriassecret last night….my first EVER #highwaistedbikini bottom and I’m in ❤️ with how it fits! #futurebikinicompetitor #physiqueupdate #progress #progresspic #progressnotperfection #workinprogress #bikiniprep #victoriasecret #victoriasecretswim #fitfam #fitspo #fitstagram #fitlife #fitlifestyle #diet #iifiym #macros #selfiesunday # # #training #projectbikini #bodybuildingcom #bodyimage #workingonthatbikinibody #strongoverskinny

#physiqueupdate It’s my own fault for being this #bloated with the #sugaralcohol in yesterday’s #proteinbar BUT it was soo good! #idontregretit My stomach is so sensitive to anything it’s not used to….SO today’s plan is to drink tons of water, get my #hiit cardio in, and focus on #leanprotein to fuel my body. Sometimes it’s so frustrating trying to figure out why my body responds the way it does to certain foods. Today’s a NEW day though….a clean slate! #bikiniprep #projectbikini #futurebikinicompetitor #progresspic #progressnotperfection #murves #fitspo #fitfam #fitstagram #fitlife #fitlifestyle #fitgirl #bloated #train #diet #eatclean #macros #iifiym #strongoverskinny

When your #quads take over your (it was #legday ) #fitgirlprobs Side note: loving my @toxicangelzbikinis crop hoodie!!! #projectbikini #toxicangelzbikinis #bikiniprep #futurebikinicompetitor #crophoodie #fitfashion #fitfam #fitstagram #workout #train #workoutclothes #girlswholift #strongoverskinny #progressnotperfection #thunderthighs #spandex #iifym #legdaystruggles #fitlife #fitlifestyle

#physiqueupdate - Currently sitting 1 lb UP from last week. (Can it please be #muscle ?) I’m now #9weeks on this #bikiniprep Weight isn’t really moving, BUT I feel SOO good!! #screwthescale Slide picture over and that is nine months of (mostly) #consistency (August vs April) Weight in pics aren’t too much different if I recall…just a few lbs, BUT the #bodycomposition certainly is! This is why I find it so frustrating when girls don’t want to #lift because they think they’ll look manly. Scientifically, not possible ladies!! #pickuptheweights #workinprogress #strongoverskinny #progressnotperfection #progresspic #futurebikinicompetitor #eatclean #iifiym #diet #train #girlswholift #fitfam #fitlife #fitlifestyle #fitstagram #bodybuildingcom #macros #fitspo #projectbikini #

OBSESSED with training in a #crophoodie (and high-waisted leggings) lately! ❤️ Plus, it’s kind of a vintage trend, so #tbt #adidas #fitfashion #workoutclothes #etsy #crop #hoodie #fitness #fitfam #fitspo #fitstagram #fitlife #fitlifestyle #projectbikini #bikiniprep #futurebikinicompetitor #clothes #ootd #workout #train #iifiym #strongoverskinny #bodybuildingcom #workinprogress #workoutclothes

#happyhumpday & I just love the back of this #bikini now if only I could find bottoms that actually fit! #physiqueupdate #projectbikini #bikiniprep #futurebikinicompetitor #train #fitfam #fitstagram #fitspo #fitgirl #bodybuildingcom #progresspic #progressnotperfection #workinprogress #iifym #macros #diet #workout #fitlife #fitlifestyle #stilltryingtoloseweight #bikini #

My go to easiest & most delicious meal is a big #salad I try and eat #highvolumefood so I feel full. (Let’s be real, #whoamikidding ) In large bowl, I throw in approx 2 cups of spinach/lettuce, 70 grams cucumber, 4-5 oz lean ground turkey, 4 tbsp #salsa & 1 oz #guacamole AND if it fits in my #macros I crumble up a #ricecake (totally acts as a crouton). I just found the MOST amazing new flavor rice cake from @quaker Garden Tomato & Basil Seriously, give this salad a try! It’s SOOO good!!! ❤️ #projectbikini #eatclean #cheatclean #diet #healthy #fitfam #fitstagram #fitlife #fitlifestyle #bikiniprep #futurebikinicompetitor #mealprep #quaker #iifiym #fitfood #foodporn #bodybuildingcom #fitspo

Finally!!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ My weight moved in the right direction for my goals…..⬇️ #physiqueupdate It’s been a super slow 7 weeks so far on a #bikiniprep (show TBD if I decide I’m ever ready for one……#futurebikinicompetitor ) Two body parts I always seem to focus on for my #progress would be #glutes & #abs (reason for both photos). I am SO happy how these glutes have been developing, just hitting them twice a week. Sure, I’m not too happy how slow my results come but just going to #trusttheprocess #macros are still 160P/ 55F / 105C #workinprogress #progressnotperfection #strongoverskinny #bodybuildingcom #bodybuilding #projectbikini #iifiym #flexibledieting #train #fitstagram #fitfam #fitspo #fitlife #fitlifestyle #fatlossjourney #fitjourney #selfiesaturday #progresspic #

Completely NON-related but I get all these messages about why I don’t put my face in my pics, well here you go for those that were curious! For those that don’t know, my favorite food is ice cream!! I cannot even begin to tell you how much I ❤️ it! The greatest ice cream “substitute” is my homemade #proteinicecream ⭐️ I literally have this every night! #nightcap ✔️ All you need to do is mix in blender: the BEST #protein which is @pescience #selectprotein (I love all flavors but have been really loving the frosted chocolate cupcake flavor lately!), 1 cup unsweetened cashew milk, ½ tsp xanthum gum (need this to make it super thick like actual ice cream. You can get off #amazon for cheap!), and I throw in 7-8 cashew milk ice cubes. I also added 1 tbsp cocoa powder and in this particular photo, I topped with 1 tbsp powder PB! The #macros are amazing too!! 165 cals / 6C/4F/26P #projectbikini #eatclean #cheatclean #diet #iifiym #proteinicecream #pescience #selectprotein #fittreat #healthydessert #fitstagram #fitspo #fitfam #fitlife #fitlifestyle #bikiniprep #mealprep #futurebikinicompetitor #snapchat #bodybuildingcom #selfiesunday

Another Saturday, another #physiqueupdate When your goal is fat loss, it is SO SO very frustrating when you put in the work by #training day in & day out and are so consistent with your #macros & #diet yet still don’t see it reflect on the #scale The only reason why I use the scale is because I have to send a form of measurement to my coach. I know not to get caught up in that, especially because I definitely know I’m getting #stronger and I see body tightening up. I’d be lying if I said it doesn’t mess with my head though, which is why I always say #futurebikinicompetitor because I don’t know if I’ll ever be “ready for the stage”. In the meantime, I’m going to embrace the #curves (or #murves ) that #weightlifting has given me & just keep moving forward. #bestself #screwthescale #bikiniprep #dontgiveup #notgivingup #bodybuildingcom #selflove #fitfam #fitlife #fitlifestyle #fitstagram #fitspo #girlswholift #iifiym #fatlossjourney #fitjourney #progressnotperfection #workinprogress #workout #progresspic #train #projectbikini #strongoverskinny #

Saturday check in…..no weight change on the scale which is frustrating since I was on point with my #macros & #training this week! Seriously, I was more on top of things then EVER and I feel great! It just goes to show you that your efforts won’t always reflect on the scale. Oh well, #screwthescale Slide on over to picture three and that is a new #preworkout I tried this week…#stimul8 by @finaflex I have never seen energy like this from me! Supposedly it’s a good #supplement for those who are used to lots of stims (which is ME)! And the #appleblast flavor (which I never who have normally chose) was amazing! #projectbikini #bikiniprep #futurebikinicompetitor #diet #train #workout #fitfam #fitspo #fitgirl #fitlife #fitlifestyle #fitness #fitstagram #progresspic #progressnotperfection #workinprogress #finaflex #bodybuildingcom #bestself

SAME day, just different poses #happyhumpday Working so hard on these booty & leg gains! Current training: hitting lower body twice a week. Performing these moves: deadlifts, leg extensions, leg press, Bulgarian split squats, glutes kickbacks, walking lunges, leg curls, barbell hip thrusts & calf raises. #projectbikini #bikiniprep #bootygains #leggains #strongoverskinny #girlswholift #strong #workinprogress #exercise #train #workout #bodybuilding #fitfam #fitlife #fitlifestyle #fitstagram #muscle #legday #fitgirl #futurebikinicompetitor #iifiym #macros #bestself #bodybuildingcom #glutes #legs

A #brownie recipe (#proteinbrownie obviously! ) & a brownie-color #selftan for my #progresspic Progress update: same weight (not trying to get caught up on the number on the scale) but lifting heavier in the gym so can’t complain I am finally feeling “back to normal” So many people don’t understand why this is so important to me, but I get such satisfaction out of giving this #bikiniprep all I got! (Yes, my bathing suit bottoms are so big that they are legit just hanging down! ) Now onto the good stuff……modified this @pescience chocolate brownie recipe (modified for my particular #macros) and OMG!! Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat pan with cooking spray (I use coconut cooking spray) Mix in bowl: 2 scoops #pescience protein powder (I used #chocolatecupcake flavor), 1 ½ cup oat flour, ¼ c cocoa powder, 1 1/3 cup unsweetened cashew milk, 2 whole eggs, 1 egg white, a few packets of Truvia, & spoonful of vanilla extract. Mix well & pour into pan. Let cook for 20ish min, or until cooked but still “fudgy” on inside. I also added a frosting: 1 tbsp #pescience #selectprotein gourmet vanilla, 1 Truvia packet, 2 tbsp low fat cream cheese, & 1 tsp vanilla extract. Mix well & top off brownie! MACROS (no icing): 3F/11P/15C and only 134 calories. Recipe makes nine brownies and they are even better next day when I took out of freezer!! #projectbikini #bikiniprep #mealprep #recipes #protein #progress #progressnotperfection #diet #fitfam #fitspo #fitgirl #fitlife #fitlifestyle #iifiym #healthy #cheatclean #futurebikinicompetitor #physiqueupdate #brownies #fittreat #fitstagram #train #macros #bestself #workinprogress #strongoverskinny

Another week on a #bikiniprep down and 23 more to go! ✔️ I wasn’t going to post this #progresspic because I’m not so happy with what I see (not feeling lean at all), but figured why the heck not. (First time I took pics in posing heels too……I def have the bug to compete now! ) I try and take pics every Sat morning just to stay accountable since the scale isn’t always the best indicator of results. I’m actually up in weight. It’s so frustrating when you do SO much…..track #macros day in & day out, follow your training protocol and even do more #cardio than scheduled, and yet still see such slow progress. I know slow progress is better than NO progress, but it’s so easy to get caught up in your head Trying to stay #positive and going to keep on keeping on this #bikiniprep #diet #iifiym #fitfam #fitlife #fitlifestyle #fitgirl #futurebikinicompetitor #positivevibes #progressnotperfection #train #workout #healthy #abs #gluteprogress # #bikiniprep #eatclean #bodyimage #selflove #bestself #bodybuildingcom #fitspo #fitstagram #strongoverskinny

Happy Sunday #fitfam Sunday calls for #proteinpancakes with chocolate #sprinkles (cause #balance ) & coffee (LOTS of ☕️☕️☕️) And because I’m feeling my new #bikini another #progresspic #allaboutthedunk #projectbikini #bikiniprep #futurebikinicompetitor #selfiesunday #fitfamily #fitspo #fitstagram #fitgirl #fitlife #fitlifestyle #pancakes #coffee #sunday #workinprogress #physiqueupdate #progressnotperfection #macros #iifiym #diet #train #strongoverskinny #

#physiqueupdate FINALLY happy with some #progress I’ve seen. Last few weeks have been tough with staying on track with my #macros & #training BUT pushing through. My favorite thing in the world is training and that feeling you get when you push past what you THINK you are capable of, but lately it hasn’t been as fun. Kind of blah even. To keep my #motivation up I’ve been changing my workouts and doing more total body & conditioning stuff which I think has helped. ALSO ➡️ I just started using @lipoxyderm which is a topical lotion that can help tighten loose skin & help with water retention. I’ve only used it on my stomach for one week (apply twice a day) and I do think it has been helping. Now I don’t think there is any magical pill or potion…..I’m still on a pretty strict diet and train 6x a week! But I’ve been loving this stuff and will keep using since I notice a difference in my #abs ❤️❤️❤️#progresspic #projectbikini #lipoxyderm #fatloss #workinprogress #diet #train #bikiniprep #futurebikinicompetitor #bikini #progress #fitspo #fitfam #fitlife #fitgirl #fitlifestyle #fitstagram #selfiesaturday

LOVE me some Sunday mornings! ❤️ Coffee ☕️ (that’s cinnamon in my coffee ) & protein pancakes using #pescience Gourmet Vanilla #selectprotein . I always take @bpi_sports #roxylean as a #fatburner ……since well……it WORKS! And ➡️ just picked up some @bpi_sports CLA & Carnitine so decided to stack that with my #bestbcaa SHRED!
